Manual harvesting

Harvesting is in the air ...

Fred at work!

One vineyard, domaine Michel Bregeon, one winegrower, Fred Lailler

I am a 37 year old winegrower, born in Gorges in a Muscadet vineyard. After completing my HND in winegrowing & oenology in Montreuil-Bellay, and after several experiences on different domains I wanted to come back to my roots, impatient to put everything that I had learned into practice and stand on my own two feet, in a vineyard that reflected what I believed in.

What do I believe in ? : valorising local produce, seeking out the authenticity of the wines and elaborating living wines. In order to succeed, it required: converting to organic agriculture to reconnect with the land, limiting the yields, fermenting with native yeasts, lengthening the maturation times and of course, practising manual harvesting. I needed the right place, to experience complete harmony and invite the region into my bottles. Then I found Le Domaine Michel Bregeon.

The year 2019 will be the year of major projects for the Domaine. We will build a new winery to welcome our customers and offer a cozy nest to our wines... The work will begin in spring 2019 and conclude theoretically for the following winter. In order to see this...
